Holograph, signed.
Henry Egbert Benson and George Thompson arrived safely. George Thompson had a rough passage. George Thompson's departure leaves a void in spite of Theodore D. Weld in the West and Henry B. Stanton in Rhode Island. Garrison facetiously describes Thanksgiving feasting and questions the wisdom of a civil officer proclaiming Thanksgiving. Gerrit Smith, a former pillar of the Colonization Society, has joined the abolitionists.
